WHAT KIND OF CRIMINAL MATTER ARE YOU FACING?
Experienced Representation for Serious Legal Problems.
DWI & DUI DEFENSE
A DWI arrest can threaten your driving privilege, employment, insurance rates, finances, and freedom.
A defense may involve examining the traffic stop, field sobriety testing, chemical testing, officer conduct, video evidence, and the procedures used during the arrest.
Contact an attorney promptly because administrative and criminal deadlines may apply.
DRUG CRIMES
Drug charges can carry serious penalties, including incarceration, fines, probation, and a permanent criminal record.
Potential defenses may include the legality of the stope or search, possession, ownership or control of the substance, testing procedures, chain of custody, and the sufficiency of the evidence.
ASSAULT & BATTERY CHARGES
An accusation of assault or battery can affect your freedom, reputation, employment, and personal relationships.
The circumstances, witness accounts, injuries, self-defense issues, video evidence, and credibility of the parties may all be important to the defense.
DOMESTIC VIOLENCE CHARGES
Domestic violence allegations can create immediate consequences beyond the criminal case, including protective orders, restrictions on contact, removal from a home, and issues involving children.
Do not violate a protective order or discuss the case with the alleged victim without first obtaining legal advice.
THEFT, FRAUD & PROPERTY CRIMES
Theft, fraud, embezzlement, unauthorized use, and other property related charges can involve complex financial and documentary evidence.
A defense may require reviewing ownership, intent, authorization, accounting records, communications, and the State’s calculation of any alleged loss.
WHITE COLLAR CRIMES
Financial investigation can involve businesses, employees, professionals, public officials, and individuals.
These cars may involve extensive records, electronic communications, audits, subpoenas, and multiple agencies. Early legal representation can be especially important before statements are made or documents are produced.
